ESD and GCS Come to Big Sky Country

November 4, 2011

ESD's Curt Oldenburg and Quanlin Zhou are part of an effort to determine whether a large fraction of Montana’s and nearby states’ CO2 emissions can be stored deep underground — where it can’t contribute to climate change.

In Memoriam – T.N. Narasimhan 1935-2011

May 6, 2011

Source:  Kryshna Avina T.N. Narasimhan, passed away on Friday morning 29 April 2011 at Stanford University Hospital.  He battled lymphoma bravely and nobly for nearly ten months keeping his usual positive, upbeat spirit through a series of treatments, surgeries, and recoveries of increasing rigor.  T. N. Narasimhan obtained a B.Sc. (Hons) degree in Geology from the University of Madras (1956), and an…

As Climate Changes, Methane Trapped Under Arctic Ocean Could Bubble to the Surface

May 4, 2011

Source:  LBNL News Center “Our simulation found that large methane releases erode the ocean’s ability to consume methane. At this scale, resource limitations come into play,” says Matthew Reagan of Berkeley Lab’s Earth Sciences Division. Reagan is a co-author of an article on this research that was published in a recent issue of the Journal…

Laboratory and Numerical Simulation Studies of Convectively Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Dissolution

February 22, 2011

Timothy J. Kneafsey and Karsten Pruess As a possible means of reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, ESD’s Timothy J. Kneafsey and Karsten Pruess have recently studied the injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) into deep saline aquifers and the benefits of enhanced CO2 dissolution into the local brine. The method involves CO2 being injected into…
